7th...just a flick...no shots either.... a right birdie or blob hole!

 

[SaintHacker]

Cant see anything on the website but are there any trolley restrictions?
And what tee are the dream team starting on Gordon?

 

[IanM]

Never seen a trolley ban there, so they probably don't ever mention it! If worried, call the club , but I'd be shocked it there was a restriction. Usually pretty dry underfoot there, even when the weather isn't!

I'd second Ian's comment above re the trolley ban.

And the dream team start on the 6th.

The Bowood boys have brought in a replacement.... a Mr Ironman. Be afraid....be very afraid

I understand there is food after golf, is it jacket and tie?

 

[IanM]

They are pretty relaxed... smart casual for the meal after is ok... some appear in jacket and tie, many do not... its usually a bit manic in the locker room after as its a shotgun start, which might influence your choice....as might the weather!

Thanks Ian

That weather forecast has been stubbornly sticking at light rain and 15 or 16 mph winds , but still a few days to go for it to pick up.

 

[IanM]

I've played it in much worse... and much better... that's not too windy

It's Wales, it rains ... Sir Nick said "bring your waterproofs!"

Equally, have some sun glasses in the bag too!

 

[Crow]

I don't mind the wind but I'd sooner it didn't rain.

 

[IanM]

Two hour delay in Newport today due to fog... not much chance of that on Tuesday

 

[SaintHacker]

Forecast has improved a bit, still windy but staying mainly dry fingers crossed

As it's a shotgun start I thought I'd check the walk out to the 6th tee, it's at the other end of the course and nearly 1,000 yards as the crow flies so I'd guess around 3/4 of a mile to walk, we'll have to head out in plenty of time to be ready to go at 11.00

I might be leaving home a little earlier than originally planned...

Geez, a bit of a trek then!

for those of you that don't speak the local lingo, this means "turn on your windscreen wipers".

HTH
